    The all-new 2010 Toyota Prius offers no surprises, just significant
    improvement. It’s sleeker and better looking, and more powerful while
    delivering an EPA-rated 51/48 mpg City/Highway, up by 3 miles per
    gallon.

    The hybrid mechanicals are lighter by 65 pounds, while being more
    efficient and presumably stronger. The 1.8-liter gas engine is also
    new, producing more horsepower while being more efficient. Top speed
    has flown to 112 miles per hour from 103 mph, slam-dunk evidence that
    the Prius is a lot slicker package at half that speed....

    I suppose we should expect a positive review from that site. Funny how so many reviewers miss the fact that the 3rd gen utilizes four driving modes, not three. The road noise and roughness makes me wonder if he tested a car with the 17" wheel option. My 15 inchers seem quiet enough to me. Thanks for the link.

    I would have to agree that the new 2010 Prius is sleeker and better looking than its predecessor. I just love the front fascia of the new Prius.
